Camcorder recommendation

bulldog · 29 Jul 17, 09:54 AM

Can anyone recommend a good SMALL camcorder that does not shoot in "fisheye"? I want to take a separate camcorder and camera but don't like the idea of having straight objects in wide view appear bent, it's just not a true reflection.
I was going to buy the olympus tough combo of the TG tracker and the TG-5 camera, but, after watching reviews on YouTube, I don't like the effect of the wide angle. I mean, we don't want Cinderella castle to look like it's bent do we?

Can any of the afternoon lot help?

I've never used it but the Sony HDR-AS50 Action Cam seems to offer wide and narrow view. Might be worth a look?

Our GoPro Hero 3 white isn't too fish eyed, but it's also not my favourite camera in the world and is an obselete model now.

GoPro Hero5 Black is fantastic. Once set up for linear it's just like any other non-wide angle lens. I'm well impressed with ours. Even our little GoPro Hero5 Session give the option for linear view.

I use Sony camcorders, never had an issue with quality or a fish eye.
